Fender is here to help you wrangle that absolute nightmare you call a pedalboard, all thanks to their new Switchboard Effects Operator.
The Switchboard Effects Operator is a streamlined and compact effects switching solution with a simple interface, all designed in collaboration with premier loop switching expert Ron Menelli. The Switchboard Effects Operator utilizes five rearrangeable relay true bypass effects loops combined with a powerful processor to reroute your pedal board, all while maintaining a completely analog, high-fidelity signal path.
The Switchboard Effects Operator allows you to access any combination of pedals in any order, toggle multiple or individual effects on and off, and even control your amp’s footswitches and MIDI enabled pedals.
Thankfully, the Switchboard Effects Operator has a very easy-to-use interface and easy-to-use encoder knob to make crafting presets in real time straightforward. The full color LCD screen displays what pedals are on and what preset is currently active, while the Switchboard Effects Operator itself comes loaded with 500 user presets, a built-in professional tuner, two high fidelity buffers, and a built-in volume pedal.
